shun evil and do good

Finally, all of you be of one mind, sympathetic, lovers of your fellow believers, compassionate, and modest in your opinion of yourselves. Don’t pay back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, give blessing in return. You were called to do this so that you might inherit a blessing. For those who want to love life and see good days should keep their tongue from evil speaking and their lips from speaking lies. They should shun evil and do good; seek peace and chase after it. The Lord’s eyes are on the righteous and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord cannot tolerate those who do evil. (1 Peter 3:8-12, CEB)

Do you want to love life?

Then you need to:

keep your tongue from evil speaking and your lips from speaking lies.
you should shun evil and do good;
you should seek peace and chase after it.

We should be of one mind and sympathetic of others.

We need to bless the world and not repay evil with evil.

When we love the world, then God’s love will be made known.

Loving People. Loving God.
